Agreed.Needs to go on the front page, imo.

So, something bugging me has been a lack of imagery of the various bits of Thargoid Salvage that drops off as you fight a Thargoid ship.
Found an Unregistered Comms Beacon and think it could be a new one!
Unfortunately doesn't seem to lead to anything of interest so, sorry, don't get excited.
Anyway, thought I would report it. Couldn't see it listed in the Canonn codex.
So, something bugging me has been a lack of imagery of the various bits of Thargoid Salvage that drops off as you fight a Thargoid ship. So at significant risk and hundreds of thousands in repairs, I've hot-shot some salvage mid-fight with a Thargoid. It's really interesting to look at.

And, what I think is most interesting (and therefore gets more shots)...
Weapons Parts

There's considerably similarities between the tubes in the weapons parts and the Thargoid Sensor fragments. Obviously with the honeycombing these probably "grow" or are built in the lattice and released when necessary. The corrosive missiles? Developing Thargons? Who knows...
EDIT: Also, for comparison, TS fragment
Try it with escape pods. If it holds true it may explain why a lone CMDR isn't a priority...Minor cross-post, just posted this in the Thargoid Interactions thread.
Short version: You can "attract" Thargoids with Thargoid Sensors in much the same way as you do with meta-alloys, so it's likely that quantities (6t or more) of anything they'd normally scoop might attract a Thargoid.
Does this change any speculation about Thargoid activity?

Have previously attracted a second by dumping a TS/TP/TL trio : less items than with meta alloys. Though maybe there was other stuff already in the nhss to make it up to 5...Minor cross-post, just posted this in the Thargoid Interactions thread.

Has anyone noticed how oddly similar the Thargoid, Human, and Guardian narritive is to Prometheus, Aliens, etc?
The H.R. Geiger stylings of most things Thargoid, the Promethean 'tune' heard in Alien:Covenant and Prometheus being a similar tune to the TS 'wail', the DNA similarities with the Guardians... The list goes on.
Also, everything always comes back to the Pilots Federation and Raxxla.It did to me.
I do hope it won't go much deeper, though. At least Elite's story and lore appears much more detailed.
I was wondering, has anyone done any mathematical work with the Guardian ruins? I may have a theory, but I'd like to know if it has already been thought of.
Did Braben just hint that we might start encountering those 'oldschool' Thargoid ships found crashed before? (In the livestream)
